<div>That said, 365 is probably still better than Outlook on the

a Linux box or Chromebook?<br>

<font size="-1">I've signed up for a business 30 day trial and it
seems they are forcing Exchange creation. They want me to provide
the domain and proof of ownership. This leads me to believe they
will want me to change the MX records in my domain to them and
thus forcing Exchange. They support IMAP and POP3 so that means
that I would have to configure my mail server to pull my mail from
them so I can use my own procmail filters and Linux based clients.<br>
<br>
I'm looking at the Home Premium version now to see how it does
Outlook. Most home users can only acess mail via POP3 or IMAP so
I'm thinking they would be forced to do that. Problem is that it
is $9.99/mon vs $5. <br>
<br>
Confused as hell now....<br>
